This is awesome news and a huge win for Vets as VetTec has proven to be a great bang for buck investment in our Vets.

I helped build Google's Inactivity account manager, it's a great feature and everyone should set it up on all their platforms. Big use cases: - Don't let your photos disappear, share them with loved ones - Share account numbers and asset locations only after death

All Veterans make a sacrifice to serve their country, whether physically, emotionally, or by being away from their loved ones and missing important life moments. Today we honor that sacrifice and all who served. #Veterans #Army #Navy #AirForce #Marines #CoastGuard

An observation: When companies put a claim in their name, it's almost certainly not true. But because it's in their name, vs. a claim in their advertising, you can't argue with them. Used to just apply to chinese restaurants and plumbers, but now:

I am curious how @Spotify aligns prohibiting transfers to competing services with Article 20 of GDPR, it would seem like there is a "technically feasible" way to do a direct transfer, they would just prefer people didn't:

Developers who provide the ability to transfer Spotify playlists to Apple Music, or other services, are reportedly being told their access to the Spotify SDK will be revoked.

For the security researchers that are scared about YT's updated terms, https://t.co/COEKolBVTN will let you download all your videos. I believe it is the original upload, not the 720p version CreatorStudio gives you. May need to export as your branded account.

Crazy, if you try to print the @Dropbox transparency report( https://t.co/Ox3pdmQtId), none of the numbers show up, both Safari and Chrome. Overall theirs is really pretty but seriously lacking in usability: no download, no deep links, and no print screen.

I've downloaded my personal data from Google thanks to #GDPR portability. I've made 71,600 searches since 2011, almost 25 searches per day, everyday for 8 years 😳 I've analyzed my data quickly, see what I've found in this thread ⤵️ #Google #data
